Secure Processing Environment 

Providing a secure virtual environment for authorised users to access and analyse sensitive data for research, AI development, and data-driven innovation.

What it is and why it matters

Access to sensitive data can unlock significant opportunities for research, AI development, and data-driven innovation. However, such data often require strict safeguards to ensure confidentiality, controlled access, and responsible secondary use.

The Secure Processing Environment (SPE) service offered by Luxembourg National Data Service (LNDS) provides a secure virtual environment in which authorised users can access, view, and analyse sensitive datasets. By ensuring that only the authorised natural person granted access rights can work with the data, the SPE supports responsible data handling and helps data holders maintain trust when enabling secondary data use.

In cases where an SPE is required, access to the environment is linked to a data access request process.

How can Luxembourg AI Factory help 

We enable you to securely analyse sensitive datasets within a trusted environment while maintaining strict access controls and data confidentiality.

This allows you to work with sensitive data without transferring or exposing the underlying datasets, helping you generate insights and develop AI or data-driven solutions while respecting data protection requirements.

What you can expect 

  1. Secure virtual workspace
    A protected virtual environment where authorised users can access and analyse sensitive datasets without direct data extraction.
  2. Controlled and authorised access
    Access mechanisms ensuring that only authorised individuals can work with the data in accordance with granted permissions.
  3. Support for responsible data use
    Infrastructure designed to support responsible secondary use of sensitive data while maintaining trust with data holders.
  4. Integration with data access processes
    In cases where sensitive data require additional safeguards, access to the SPE is linked to the relevant data access request procedures.

Who it is for

This service is intended for organisations that need to analyse sensitive or restricted datasets for research, AI development, or data-driven innovation.
